World-class shopping along Madison and Fifth Avenues, Central Park, Broadway Theatre and some of the world’s best museums are all within a very close proximity of Four Seasons Hotel New York and easily accessible by foot. Its collection of recently remodelled suites, junior suites and corridors, a project personally overseen by visionary hotelier and design innovator Ty Warner, has also created a new standard of excellence in New York City.
All of the interiors remain true to the celebrated modern-deco style of IM Pei, the architectural mastermind behind the building’s striking design. Handmade, king-sized, lighted-pedestal beds with custom linens appear to float above the ground. Handcrafted furnishings made from rare Japanese tamo ash, cerused oak and bespoke fabrics add to the sleek monochromatic style. Distinctive English sycamore wood panelling as well as lizard gold and Chabata wallcoverings are featured throughout, and custom-woven, 100 per cent wool carpets and hand-knotted rugs lend the living spaces an intimate yet elegant feel.
Each of the 368 studio and suite accommodations feature oversized windows that can actually be opened, a rarity in New York City, and offer sweeping panoramic views of Manhattan and an abundance of natural light. Italian Breccia Oniciata marble enhances the spacious bathrooms, which include separate glass enclosed showers; oversized deep-soaking tubs, many with whirlpools; remote-controlled mirrored televisions and Bulgari amenities.
